see its welcome columns. We are having
grand weather here and when not exercis-

has been necessary to have fire in the sit

The relief from my business is already BEN
efitting me. feel much better, so much
so that L would suggest change in the ad.
for this week. Where proposed to sell
the whole business out. l might add that
if either branch of the business would be
more desirable to the purchaser would
divide it and sell it in that way. Either
the Hardware business complete or the
Coal, Lumber and general warehouse bust
ness. Which ever would be most desirable
to the purchaser. There is an excellent
business in either branch, which if desired
would enable the proprietors to give each
more attention.
Although feeling anxious to return to
my business, wish 10 remain away while
am improving physically.
Trusting you are all well and prospecting,

Mr.. PATRICK REEDY.
Dear Sir:-RelatiYe to the
questions in your circu ar sent me, will
say that, bearing in mind the general
interests of all classes of citizens in the
county and state, irrespective of party
have given such answers to your
numerous questions as am at present
qualified to give. Further considera-
ton might somewhat change my ans
wers to some questions. My know
ledge and experience, which are prac-
teal, enable me to form something of
an opinion in regard to the onerous
duties and requirements of the labor
ing classes, and when Iplace on record
as one of your memoirs whose inter
ests are wholly in accord and intensi-
fled with the interests of the working
classes, think / have answered your
somewhat intricate questions as they
should be by one of your number. 1t
will be my duty to meet the working.
men this fall and discuss matters re-
lating to their general welfare, and l
look forward to that time with much
pleasure. If am elected to represent
the people of this county, L shall
vote for such measures as tend to pro-
tect the interests of the working class
es as we'll as others, and would betray
the trust imposed in me if did other
wise. trust the answers 1 have CIV
en- you will meet the requirements. If
not regret it. Very Truly,
E. MOVES.

more bniIding. He complained of be
ing quite sick, but he made most ex-
cellent, forcible speech, Ehe point of
which was an argument to show that
the whiskey business was essentially
national and political question. That
the combined whiskey interest was
mainly controlled by foreign element
which was systematically holding the
balance of power between the two par
ties, by menace to throw its entire
weight against the party and candidate
which endorsed or favored its prohibit
lion by law. In the large cities this for
eign liquor element was at WARMTH the
Christian Sabbath, because it wished to
keep its saloons open on that day, it's
most profitable harvest day in the sew
en-. This element stuffed ballot boxes
in the large towns and cities and pol
luted our politics in every State. And
that the only remedy would be for the
temperance element to combine In a
party to overthrow this power, and
sooner or later they will be compelled
to do this.
A number of party folks showed a
great deal of nervousness lest there
might be some danger against their
party meditated, that might in some
way or other contribute to defeat can
didates. This is great weakness which
affects many, very many men who will
not confess it even to themselves. The
we'll organized liquor element discover
ing this weak point, has seized upon
and uses it with powerful effect to con
troll the old parties. There are good
many free and independent American
citizens" a good deal shy about being
seen at political temperance meeting,
but if a prohibition party were to be
successful and show considerable
majority at a popular election, these
men would be found buttonholing
every Influential prohibitionist the
next season for a nomination. The last
concert is always the first candidate.

OHIO WOOL MEN.

Their Association at Columbus -lmPor
tant Resolutions Adopted.
COLUMBUS, o., September 1.-The Ohio
Wool Growers Association at their meet
ing to-day adopted a series of resolutions
respecting the correspondence between the
president OF the association and the presi-
dent of the association OF wool manutac-
turers and fully endorsed the action of the
president OF the association. The resolutions
cite that the manufacturers who consume
large quantities of foreign woods are not
in sympathy with domestic producers and
are unwilling to see them protected by
national legislation 80 as to enable them to
compete with the products of foreign ma
tions; that it was by their advice the tariff
legislation of 1888 was initiated and con-
summated. BY this act they claim that
sheep h~usbandry in the United States has
ceased TO he remunerative, they therefore
resolved that it is the sense of this associa-
ton
That the parties who have caused this
oppression to wool growers ought to recog-
nize the facts, and admit the justice of the
claim TO equal and adequate protection be-
fore calling upon them TO unite Ill efforts
to procure enactments favorable to their
interests, and to correct misconstruction
of economic laws and erroneous rulings OF
the Treasury department as to them.
Referring to the internal revenue sys-
tenn az the result Of a necessity growing
out of the war, it is resolved as to the opin-
ion of this association that this system of
taxation, so far as il relates to spirits and
tobacco ought to be abolished, 90 soon rs
it is manifest that the receipts of revenue
thereirom are not absolutely necessary for
the wants of the government.
The resolutions were discussed at length
by prominent wool men from all parts of
the State before they were adopted. Sena-
tor Sherman was an interested spectator,
aud at the close Of the business made a
brief speech in which he dwelt upon the
importance of the industry and the neces-
sity for protecting it by all means in their
power. He closed by pledging his hearty
support next winter. Senator Sherman
also during the day at the State Fair was
the guest of the Board of Agriculture, and
made a speech Of some length, referring
more especially to the agricultural interests
Of the State.

OUR A EXCHANGES.
What They Have to Say of the Banner In
cident-

Ut-tt DtHtpCitI.
The Reunion at Wheeling has come and
gone 1t was q big thing spoiled at the
finish. Some of the Grand Army Posts re-
fused to pass under the Presidents banner.
All this was very silly. There could be
no insult to the Grand Army in passing
under the banner of the President OF the
United States. Their conduct was foolish
and a bad example to the rising generation.
This kind of thing has borne bitter fruit
once and may do so again.
The charge is now reiterated that the
Grand Army is a Republican organization.
This i not true, but there are plenty OF Re-
publican politicians who would like to
makeit so. They would destroy this noble
order to gain a little temporary pro-
motion for themselves. We are glad that
the Veteran Legion and the Colored Post
behaved in a digni6ed manner and passed
under the banner, rebuking by their &c.
ton the petty prejudices and mean ambi-
tions of little bob-tail politicians. We
hope the hubbub on last Friday may not
be without its benefits to the Grand Army
and everybody else. The Pittsburg people
saw that the kick was ~inaugurated by W.
Va Post No. Al. Ii that be 80 We hope
that at its next meeting the post will pass
a resolution eondemning its own action,
and go out behind the house and kick itself
hard.

Our little son will be four years Of age on the

weeks. The cnild received little or no good from
the treatment, as the breaking DOT, supposed by
the physician 10 be hives in an aggravated form,
became larger in blotches, and more and more
distressing We were frequently obliged to get
up in the night and rub him with soda in water,
strong liuiments, etc. Finally, we called other
physicians, until 10 less than six had attempted
to cure him, all alike falling, and the child
steadily getting worse and worse, until about the
10th OF last July, when VI began TO give him
CUTICURA RnsoLyRST internally, and CUTIcuHh,
and CUTICuRA SOAP externally, and by the laS
OF AusuSt be was SO nearly well that we gave
him only one dose Of the REsoI.vEsT about every
second day for about ten days longer. and he has
never been troubled since with the horrible NAL
ady. In ali We used less than one-half of a bot

If the object Of all this, however, is to
weaken Cleveland in the estimation Of
the people, it will s~ignally fail, for a
generation is coming mp both in
the South aud in the North who are pos
sessed of loftier spirit and a nobler pur-
pose than to subsist on pensions or boun-
ties, and these recognize in our present
ruler the embodiment Of q new order OF
things, and will stand by him to the last.
The feelings e~ngendered by the fratricidal

forgiveness and forgetfulneSs, and there
are hundreds of thousands who earnestly
desire to place another turf upon the
mound and bury it out of sight forever.

The reasonable conduct of some of the
G. A. K. at Wheeling last Friday is being
Justly condemned on all sides. The origi-
nal intent and purpose of the G. A. r. is
all right, but there is one thing certain, If
the order allows'hot headed politicians
we'll loaded with bad whisky to hold the
reinS it will sOOn come into disrepute.
And what is worse the idea of trailing the
well beloved Star spangled Banner in the
dust. Only q few short years ago on the
same ground a handful of brave men
threw off the yoke of government of the
mother State because she refused to do
homage to the same cherished banner.
And now, when all is peace and harmony
in prosperous little State, q flag is
trampled upon and disgraced by men who

The Spirit of futile Marching on.

aF
A Grand Army Post got its back up on
the last day of the Wheeling parade and
refused to march under a portrait OF Presi-
dent Cleveland, which was a part of the
decoration on the street. The effect Of
such a reasonable exhibition il insienifi-
can't, but it shows that the spirit of futile
and Fairchild is marching on. ID South
ern veterans had been guilty of this indig-
nifty to q Republican President the fact
would have been heralded over the coun-
try as an evidence that that section Is still
in rebellion. Those members of the e.. A.
K. who refused to march under the por-
trait of the President at Wheeling no
doubt believe as the Republicans believed
IN '76, that the office of President belongs
to their organization and that the Chief
Executive must do their bidding regard
less of the consequences to the country.

A great deal of comment has been ex-
cited by the action of number Of G. A. X.
Posts at Wheeling in refusing to march
under a banner containing President Cleve-
lands portrait, at the soldiers reunion
last week. The affair was a peculiarly I'M
fortunate M and places the Grand Ar
my of tn Republic" in an unenvisble posi-
ton. The burden of comment is that the
veterans (?) who thus showed their dislike
for the head of the nation made a big mis-
take; many of them, however, are to be
excused on the ground that they did not
know what was going on or what was
meant, having blindly followed the Penn
~sylvanians who deliberately set the example
Of disrespect. Some of the Republican
newspapers attempt to justify the act, but
it is a weak effort.
